Gareth Bale has no intention of leaving Real Madrid and wants to finish his career with the Spanish club, says his agent, Jonathan Barnett.

Bale has not featured for the European champions since scoring in the 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in September.

The 28-year-old has won three Champions League crowns in four years.

But the ascent of Isco over the last 12 months and the injury problems that have wrecked both his end to last season and the start of this campaign have seen speculation mount over a potential return to the Premier League.

There have been suggestions in the Spanish press that Los Blancos are ready to cash in on the £85million forward.

However, ahead of his return to action against Fuenlabrada in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night, Bale’s agent has made clear that he only sees his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"He wants to play the rest of his life at Real Madrid," he told Fichajes.

"He loves Madrid, the city, life and he loves the club. Of course it hurts him when the people don't support him and they do with other players who aren't so good.

"It's crazy, this happens only in Spain and I don't understand it, fans should understand this and know how good he is.”

Barnett also blasted sections of the Spanish press for writing “garbage" about the Welsh ace.

"I think that those who write these stories should go back to school and learn what journalism should be like, it's not inventing stories, I do not want to get angry because I read invented stories," he said.

"Some journalists in Spain write garbage, they aren't based on football reasons and this is a mistake, they don't take the time to analyse what he has done. The fans should adore him."
